For fans of the early seasons of “Dance Moms,” the names Cathy Nesbitt-Stein and Vivi-Anne Stein conjure up memories of fierce competition, heartwarming moments, and a touch of reality TV drama. While their time at the Abby Lee Dance Company (ALDC) was brief, their rivalry with Abby Lee Miller and subsequent return to their home turf, Candy Apple’s Dance Center, added a unique flavor to the show. But what has become of this mother-daughter duo in the years since the cameras stopped rolling?
Beyond the Show: Vivi-Anne’s Love of Dance Continues to Bloom
While Vivi-Anne may have dreamt of dancing at Disney theme parks as a child, her passion for dance hasn’t waned. Following her stint on “Dance Moms,” she continued to compete, showcasing a noticeable improvement in her skills. One particularly impressive feat was her foray into tap dancing, where she not only competed but also earned a coveted Standout Award. Unlike her mother, who thrives on social media engagement, Vivi-Anne prefers a more private life. Her short-lived YouTube channel and inactive social media accounts suggest a desire for personal space. However, Cathy’s active Instagram feed occasionally offers glimpses into Vivi-Anne’s world, keeping fans connected with this talented young dancer.
More recently, Vivi-Anne’s future has taken a fascinating turn, suggesting a potential blend of her love for dance with another passion – film. As a recent high school graduate, she’s now a freshman at Cleveland State University, pursuing a film major with a dance minor. This intriguing academic path hints at a future career that could seamlessly combine her artistic talents and storytelling inclinations.

From Feuding on Screen to Reconciliation in Real Life
One of the most heartwarming developments since “Dance Moms” has been the reconciliation between Cathy and Abby Lee Miller. Their on-screen animosity appears to have been largely fueled by the show’s desire for dramatic entertainment. This was recently confirmed when Cathy appeared on Abby’s podcast, “Leave It On The Dance Floor.” Both openly acknowledged the show’s influence on their dynamic, acknowledging that their on-screen rivalry may not have accurately reflected their true feelings.
Other former cast members have also expressed a newfound appreciation for Cathy and Vivi-Anne. Christi and Chloe Lukasiak, for instance, have openly shared their newfound respect for the duo. However, Jill Vertes offered a slightly different perspective. She suggested that Vivi-Anne’s initial lack of enthusiasm for dance might have influenced their portrayal on the show.
From Dance Mom to Empty Nester: Cathy Adapts to a New Chapter
Cathy, now an empty nester, is adjusting to Vivi-Anne’s college life. With a touch of humor, she revealed on Abby’s podcast her (rejected) offer to be Vivi-Anne’s college party buddy. While lighthearted, the separation has undoubtedly been a challenge. However, Cathy finds comfort in knowing Vivi-Anne is busy and thriving. This includes recent dance team tryouts – news that no doubt reignites Cathy’s inner “dance mom” spirit.
Vivi-Anne and Cathy’s story is far more than just another reality TV tale. It’s a testament to the enduring strength of a mother-daughter bond and the relentless pursuit of dreams, both old and new. Whether Vivi-Anne takes center stage on a dance team or chooses a path behind the camera, it’s clear she’s a young woman charting her own course. This talented individual is sure to leave her own mark on the world, just as she did on the world of dance and reality television.
As Vivi-Anne embarks on this exciting new chapter, fans can’t help but cheer her on, while also acknowledging the supportive role Cathy has played throughout her journey. Their story reminds us that sometimes, the sweetest moments come after a few sour ones. And who knows, maybe one day we’ll see Vivi-Anne on the big screen, paying homage to her dance roots in a captivating film.
